Throwback weekend delivered again.
Hickory Motor Speedway hosted its annual CARS Tour Throwback weekend this past Saturday, an event filled with drama and chaos.
Lost in the chaos was the race’s original draw – paying homage to the past with throwback paint schemes. As usual, we saw some incredible retro looks for drivers in both the Late Model Stock car and Pro Late Model divisions.
Everything from legendary NASCAR paint schemes to Late Model Stock royalty was on display Saturday night. There was truly something for everyone to enjoy.
This isn’t a competition. We don’t want to rank them, but we want to highlight 10 of the best schemes in case you missed some of the classic rides in the field Saturday night.
Here’s are 10 paint schemes that we feel stood out the most under the Catawba County night sky.
Throwback to Robert Huffman
It’s hard not to start with the guy who won the FloRacing contest for best throwback of 2024. He also happens to be part of the story that stole the Throwback spotlight on Saturday night.
Huffman’s throwback to his father’s final Late Model Stock win was spot on perfect. The blue wrapped up the side of a modern day Late Model Stock car body looked perfect and red accents made the No. 37 pop.
To top it all off, the sponsor on the hood, Sig’s Tire Center, is the original sponsor from his father’s 1993 ride. The Huffmans even had the store’s original ownership in attendance. 10/10.
Throwback to Dale Earnhardt
Let’s be honest- Who doesn’t love a good Dale Earnhardt throwback?
Not only did Isles knock it out of the park with this Intimidator throwback, but he did so with a deep cut. Earnhardt’s Olympic scheme from 1996 is one of the few from his Cup career that hasn’t been repetitively used in the NASCAR world.
What makes the scheme even more fitting is that it ran during the current Summer Olympics, which are currently taking place in Paris, France.
The red, white and blue made for a perfect replica on Isles’ Late Model Stock car. Bonus points for the team going all in and changing from its typical No. 11 to sport the No. 3, truly pulling this throwback together.
Throwback to Lee Pulliam
‘Butterbean’ Queen and the Lee Pulliam Performance group went with a throwback to the man whose name is on the building.
Queen surprised four-time NASCAR National champion Lee Pulliam with a throwback to one of his championship…
